Problem is that if we remove the titles, the methods don't appear in the local HTML TOC (shown in the left sidebar) and so we loose the useful ability of easily jumping to an arbitrary method section.

I modified the patch to have both the title and new crossref metatdata markup, this makes the method headers look a bit ugly (content generated by the new crossref metatdata markup appear below the titles and is identical) but oh well, it seems we have two requirements (easy navigation, desirability of more metadata markup) whose current results when pursued together aren't ideal in this case.

Removing milestone = 1.3. Justin committed some related changes in r12808 so IMHO there is hope we can get this in 1.2.

Looks like these methods are appearing in the django.db.models namespace rather than django.db.models.QuerySet. We need another currentmodule declaration (django.db.models.QuerySet) or else each target needs "QuerySet." prefix:

.. method:: QuerySet.filter(**kwargs)

The patch in #11800 does the latter. With the current setup, a link would look like "django.db.models.defer" whereas I think they should look like "django.db.models.QuerySet.defer".
